It sure is - now i can afford my trip to the USA but i need places to stay - any ideas?
Some items for you when you go to the US as one Brit exile to a-possible-nother based on interest rather than tourism
- Wyoming - Yellowstone, Devils tower, a state the size of Britain with 750,000 people - go horse riding in yellowstone
- The black hills of South Dakota, swimming / skinny dipping if late enough in Sylvian Lake, see the Buffalo at Custer state park, Mt Rushmore, Cosmos (really weird place)
- try getting drunk in Utah, and go up into the mountains to some of the meadows, un believably brilliant to see humming birds in the wild in grassland / flowers 2 foot deep. ps watch out for bears, go to Logan area and head east
- early morning in any Midwest City / Town go to a Walmart or a Club Food and you will see herds of people of a size that you will not believe.
- South / North Dakota - empty, empty, empty space, go horse rding and then in the late afternoon / evening watch 14 year old kids driving cars legally
- West Texas / Eastern New Mexico - will make you appreciate being anywhere else on the planet, but really nice friendly people,
- Rivers in Minnesotta & Wisconsin, catching kray Fish
- actually having lots of people say you have a cute accent - in you case probably additional compliments (big grin)
- Deleware and the small early towns e.g. New Castle which are linked to the 1700s and War of Independance,
- California drive to Yosemiti park, also the Bay area, and wine, wine , wine, Old Sacramento is good too..
- College American Football, Basketball and Hockey - cheep to get in, the fans are very enthusiastic.
- Ask someone why the games has stopped every 10 mins (comercials)
- Going on a Paddlesteamer and watching teachers try to control school kids on the Mississipi
- The "beach pools" in the summer - wonderful
- any small town festival - the effort put in is wonderful
- drive through the country side anywhere on the first day of the dear season and see - fanatical butchery in action - may not be your thing but it shows another side to the US,
Most of all be open minded and look for and experience the differences - there are a lot - then have a beer with people and discuss, it is very educational.........o yes - in the south go to see the dancing especially in Texas.....................LOL
As for none Vanilla activies................I'm never anywhere long enough.........
Not many of these are "traditional tourist items but each shows interesting side to US
